The Lee Precision 90162 Case Length Gauge eliminates guesswork in case preparation by providing precise length measurement for .45 ACP cartridge cases. This steel construction gauge works seamlessly with Lee's cutter and lock stud system to ensure consistent case trimming results.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic length gauges that require separate measurements, this integrated system combines length checking with trimming preparation in one step. The precision-machined steel construction maintains tolerances within 0.001 inches, significantly tighter than brass or aluminum alternatives. The included shell holder eliminates the need for separate case positioning tools, streamlining the reloading workflow.
Key Features
- Precision-machined steel construction for long-term accuracy
- Integrated design works directly with Lee cutter and lock stud
- Includes dedicated .45 ACP shell holder for secure case positioning
- Silver finish resists corrosion and provides clear measurement visibility
- Compatible with Lee Case Length Gauge and Shellholder system
- Maintains 0.001-inch tolerance specifications
- No-slip design prevents case movement during measurement
Reloaders processing high volumes of .45 ACP brass benefit from the consistent results this gauge delivers. The steel construction withstands repeated use without dimensional changes that affect accuracy. Competition shooters rely on this level of precision for uniform case preparation, while general reloaders appreciate the simplified workflow that reduces setup time between different calibers.
